Shanessa won the Jack-in-the-Box Task earlier, jumping out of her box at 20:11 and winning a place in the House - but her gain was Liam's loss when she was ordered to choose a housemate to replace her in the Halfway House.

Wearing a fetching brown cow outfit, Shanessa was told by Big Brother: "There is a price to pay for your place in the House. One existing housemate must leave to make room for you. Who this housemate is, is up to you."

"Oh no," the blonde groaned, "don't do this to me. I love everybody there, they've all been so nice to me. I'm gonna have to think about this really hard now."

But it wasn't long before Shanessa made her decision: "Liam... he was nice to me and all that, but we didn't gel. He's a lovely man and Amy really really likes him, and apparently he likes Amy, and Ziggy's really fond of Liam."

She then worried, "They're gonna f****** hate me, I can just see it now!"

On entering the house, the blonde urgently approached Liam, saying "Liam, I need to talk to you, right?"

At which point she was told by Liam that all the housemates had viewed her decision on a plasma screen. Sneaky Big Brother!

"It's not because of anything bad," Shanessa assured the lad.

"Don't be daft," he soothed.

"Amy really likes you," she told him.

"She's got good taste, hasn't she?" Liam joked.

But Shanessa didn't leave it there: "It'll make her day when she sees you!"

Looks like your impending move might be a blessing in disguise, Liam!
